It was 45 degrees this morning.  I must be used to the heat because this felt a bit chilly at first.  I ran 12.22 miles.  I ran about 4 with Bob Fisher and then 4-5 with Jedd Thomas so all the miles were nice and easy with tons of conversation, just what I wanted today.

It was 47 degrees when I left this morning....63 when I got home.  I ran 17.15 miles and had a really good run.  I had 8 good tempo miles and never went above a 7:30 pace until mile 14 up the Satterfield hill.  This was my best mid-distance run in quite a while.  Pacing was good, endurance was good, form was good....what more can you ask.  Beautiful morning, by the way.

It was 52 degrees this morning.  I only had time for 10.61 miles because I needed to be in Blackfoot early this morning.  I have another early morning tomorrow.

Another early morning.  It was actually dark out when I started...the days are getting shorter.  It was 59 degrees and breezy this morning, very comfortable.  I ran 10.42 miles.  Long run tomorrow.

It was 50 degrees in town this morning.  It felt cooler at the top of Buckskin and there was a steady breeze/wind for most of the way.  It was cloudy so the temps stayed the same for the whole run....it was nice.  I ran 23.05 miles with Barry S. and Greg G.  I held back with them for most of the run so my pace was not exceptionally fast.  That was fine because I am running Park City next weekend.  I did the whole run in just under 2:52.
